Class: College Prep Biology Unit: “Genetics” Topic: What’s so different about RNA?
Instructional Objectives: Students should be able to…
Students will be able to pull information from the notes and text to formulate comparisons between RNA and DNA.
Students will be able to compare and contrast RNA and DNA in a Venn Diagram
Opening:
"Can anyone remind me what DNA stands for? What do you think RNA stands for?"
Time:
Activity
9:00-9:10 9:11-9:14 9:15-9:20
9:20-9:50
I will review the previous days lesson and notes
I will review power point notes on
RNA (definition + structure)
Bases
Definitions of
Transcription
Translation
Three types of RNA
Assignment:
Students will work in groups of three to read fill out the graphic organizer.
Students will be graded based on how much information they cover about DNA and RNA
Activity Materials Needed: Power point presentation on RNA
Resources Needed: Closing: "Although RNA and DNA are very similar in many ways, they are quite different in their structures and the roles that they play. It is important to not only recognize their differences, but to also recognize their similarities and how they are connected."
